Taylor Swift wore a snake necklace at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025: Connection explored

From wearing a T-thigh chain at the 2025 Grammy Awards to wearing a snake necklace at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Taylor Swift is known for leaving hints now and then.

While Taylor Swift didn't attend the iHeartRadio Music Awards, she sent a video with her acceptance speech on winning the Tour of the Century award. In the video, Swift was seen wearing a snake necklace. The necklace was light golden with a thin chain and a snake-face-shaped pendant.

Additionally, Swift paired her look with bright red lips, which matched her signature style, and a black full-sleeve top that highlighted her necklace further.

In the video, she was seen saying,

"Thank you so much, iHeart, and thank you so much, mainly to the fans. Tour of the Century, I really can't tell how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew."

Taylor Swift's connection to the snake symbol

Taylor Swift and the Snake symbol goes back to when Taylor released the Reputation album in 2017. Swift started using the snake symbol after her controversy with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2016.

Kanye released a song in the same year named Famous, including controversial lyrics about Taylor, which she denied approving. Kim later posted a video suggesting otherwise and called Taylor a snake. This further led to online hate.

In response, Swift made a comeback with Reputation, where she used snake imagery in music videos. She also released a music video of the song, Look What You Made Me Do, which addressed the controversy.

Additionally, Taylor wore a snake-inspired outfit throughout her Reputation segment in the Eras tour, which was loved by her fans.
